Going back to re-read this one. I believe there are some things I want to consider on the history of "righteousness" ideology and the ideas expressed in Abrahamic religion. As I previously stated on Mastodon, "John F. Sitton's criticism in 'Hannah Arendt's Argument for Council Democracy' (Polity) and Odd Arne Westad's outline of the Korea's Neo-Confucian 'Righteous Nation' ideology (Empire and Righteous Nation) perfectly shows what we know about the intended goals of the Abrahamic god, and the limitations of that god's promises." - This is essentially a conclusion that comes from interdisciplinary studies and is worth exploring further. cylon.space/@richard/110105977107086453
